Will the circle be unbroken

By and by, by and by?

There's a better home awaiting

In the sky, in the sky

There are loved ones in the glory

Whose dear forms you often miss

When you close your earthly story

Will you join them in their bliss?

One by one their seats were emptied

And one by one they went away

Now the circle has been broken

Will it be complete one day?

Will the circle be unbroken

By and by, by and by?

There's a better home awaiting

In the sky, in the sky.
